    It should be a great fight.

    No ducking, no silliness, this is a fight the HW baaxing needs.

    This fight will either make or brake the KLIT reign.

    On the other side if AJ wins this will cement him as a HOFer and the NEW HW linchpin.

    This is a great fight!! I'm more excited to see this fight, then I was to see Fury/Wlad II.

    I hope Joshua wins. He didn't need to take this fight. I think it is a bit early. I hope he gets rewarded. I have never cheered for Joshua, but I am now an instant fan. He is going to get paid well, but he would've anyway (regardless of who he fought), he is bucking the trend. Full respect. Now my favorite boxing personality.

    I just hope Joshua gets the credit he deserves if he dismantles Wlad in impressive fashion. But I just have a feeling that there would be a load of excuses if Wlad loses.

    I wasn't a fan of Joshua either. He just grew on me. Full respect to Joshua too!

    Tyson fury will loose the plot if AJ ko's Wlad, especially if he becomes a so called hero in the uk

    Fury still beats AJ every day of the week though.

    Fury wins either way. If Wlad wins then Fury's win looks even better - and there will be more interest in the rematch. On the other hand if Joshua wins then Fury will be looked upon as the man who could possibly challenge him. Fury hasn't been KO'd, so even if Joshua KO's Wlad, then he would still have to KO a guy (Fury) who hasn't been KO'd before. I think Joshua beats Wlad, but I don't see him getting past Tyson Fury.

    Wlad is 41 you clown. Joshua needs to beat Wlad convincingly to be even mentioned in the same breath as prime wlad.

    Wlad is forty, inactive and coming off a loss. Joshua will win easily.

    I really wanted to see the Fury rematch because it was personal for Wladimir. It was a fluke fight and I wanted Wlad to knock the point off Fury's head, which I think that he was gonna do. Now the Joshua fight is different. Wlad is prime for the take down. His skillset has diminished enough for Joshua to make a dramatic statement by knocking him out. It will be the real passing of the torch. However Joshua can't get complacent because Wlad still has that power and it only takes one well placed shot to end it.

    How will AJ be a HOFer for beating a 40-year-old Klitschko?

    Fury already beat Klitschko (when WK was champion) and Fury's not regarded as a HOFer, surely not.
    In fact, a lot of people thought he was lucky to get an old WK, kind of like Leon Spinks getting an old Muhammad Ali.

    27-year-old up-and-coming heavyweights are generally expected to defeat 40-year-old ones.
    The only reason we see this as a big risk for AJ is due to his inexperience and the fact he's been matched with such a low quality opponent so far.

    Fury ended Wlad then had him do 2 nearly full camps only to pull out, Wlad is on his 3rd camp now and he is 40.
    If AJ dosn't beat him then he is ruined anyway, he can come again, but he will always be B side to the Gypsy King.
    AJ by brutal KO Wlad is finished.
